AN EAST PALATKA FIRE.

The Warehouse and Wharf of the 81. A.
& p. X. X. Burned.
AT 12:4J O'Clock Sunday morning the
warehouse and wharf of the St. Angus
tine and Palatka Railroad, in East Pa
latka, was discovered to be on fire. When
discovered the entire inside of the ware
house was in flames and none of the con-
tents could be saved. All of the wharf.
except about twenty-five feet of the
front, was totally destroyed.
The ferry steamer, Louise, was tied I'D
at the wharf, and narrowly escaped
burning. She was cut loose. and drifted
out Of danger, as there was no steam
with which to move her.
The loss in buildings and wharf is
about $4,000. All the books were
burned, as well as the tickets of the road.
The money in the safe was found to be
all right when it was opened, none of the
money or papers inside being even
scorched. Agent Head lost all his cloth
ing as well as other valuables i'm the
house.
The fire is thought to have been of in
cendiary origin, as everything was all
right when the warehouse was closed for
the night, and no fire was left burning on
the premises. The blaze, as it shot up in
the air. made beautiful sight from this
side of the river, and lit up the water
for miles.
The railroad will use the Harding ware
house as depot until other houses can
be erected 1t stands very near where
the burned buildings were, and will an

house can be put in readiness

MURDEROUSLY DRUNK.
A Mulatto Woman Slashes Two Men y
L.

A Mulatto Woman Slashes Two Men and
IL Herself Injured.
There was quite a cutting affray in
town yesterday afternoon, about 9
O'Clock. Dreddy Colwell. mulatto
woman, cut with a razor two colored
brethren, Edwin King and Sam Newman.
King was cut pretty badly just below the
knee cap of his left leg, and Sam New
man was cut on the hand and had sew
eral gashes on his left leg just above the
knee The row occurred at the house of
a colored woman by the name of Mary
Jane Berry. on Hapgood street, between
Lemon and Oak. Dreddy Colwell flew
into rage at something one of the men
said to her about dancing, as there was a
little dancing going on at the time. One
of the men in the house was playing a
banjo, while the rest We're keeping time
to the music.
She went into her room and took a
razor out of her trunk and made a rush
for King and Newman. who tried to get
out of her way. but she succeeded in
cutting Newman; King went to his
him and cut him. just then Newman
struck her on the head with a bed slat.
King snatched a similar weapon and did
likewise, knocking her down in the sand.
when Tom Baylock. another colored
man, took the razor away from her. and
cut her thumb pretty severely. When
the police arrived on the scene she was
lying in the sand cursing and sw Fearing
like a maniac
She was carried in the house
and Drs. Lancaster and Strausz were
called in and they proceeded to examine
her. After careful examination it was
found that her right arm was broken
just above the wrist, her thumb cut. and
her head bruised pretty badly from the
blows she received from the two men,
During the fracas she made a dash at
Alderman Purcell, who happened to be
passing. and he had to run for his life.
The Marshal arrested all parties and
turned the case over to Sheriff Zehnbar
The woman was drunk, and of course
whisky is To- blame
